El Hierro

The peaceful island of El Hierro is less than 50 km long and is home to natural swimming pools and crystal clear waters, ideal for swimming and scuba diving. It also boasts huge areas of protected woodland, a cliff-lined coastline, plus coves and lagoons such as Charco Manso in the north, and Charco Azul in the northwest.

El Hierro has the densest concentration of volcanoes in the Canary Islands, and is also famous for its incredible savin juniper trees at El Sabinar, which have become mis-shapen by the strong winds.
